With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

People calling it a gooner game are the real objectifiers, being goonable doesn't necessarily mean it's gooner as in a straight up porn game. Yoko taro the creator of Nier praised the game even though people say it's a Nier clone to attack the game but nobody says that the gazillion mediaeval European fantasy games are clones of eachother.

>>46775
>People calling it a gooner game are the real objectifiers
you posted the same retarded shit twice even though no one is talking about "objectification". look if you got your 60 dollars worth then that's fine but i won't spend that cash for a gooner game when there's lots of better quality gooner shit out there in the world just waiting for me to pirate it

>>46462
>f you can overlook the tacky outfits, there is no sexualisation in the game cutscenes or story, no romance, sex or even kissing.
yes that shit is weird, even shaun thought it was weird, the mark of a gooner game is indeed the fact that the people making the game cant comprehend tits and ass as anything but a titillating, errr, object, something to be seen but fundamentally divorced from every other aspect because that would require giving the robot lady some depth. or in other words, they're able to model a hot lady for their game but they're unable to write a hot lady in their story. at this point i feel people should have understood that everyone is fine with sexy characters if the character is built around being extremely sexually overt, like bayonetta, but this is a fantasy gooners cant invest themselves in, because it comes across as female empowerment to them when sexual attractiveness is acknowledged in-game and the character acts upon it, flaunts it, etc.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation and the devs skirted it perfectly just enough to be polarising as the game is. just because you're beautiful/sexy doesn't mean you necessarily have to 'be' anything personality wise, people are mad because they have their preconceived notions and project it onto the game and weaponise it in the culture war while the devs laugh to the bank.

>>46778
>It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't
it's really not. i just think it's hacky characterization and reminds me of marvel movies (which also have AAA-tier bodies but everyone is inhumanly asexual). the game was released and then went away without pain or glory, really, and the drama around it was vastly overstated by a 60 year old pedophile who spends too much time online. they could have done either thing.

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.

The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

Why bother with the exhausting pursuit of "purpose" or "fitness" when I can achieve total neural collapse from the comfort of my couch? I’ve traded my soul for a chemical glow, and frankly, it’s the most revolutionary thing I’ve ever done.
I am the ultimate consumer, a mindless vessel pouring every cent into the glorious void of addiction. To have a "personality" or "talents" is so mid-century; I prefer being a hollowed-out shell, vibrating with synthetic bliss. If you think I’m wasting my life, you’re clearly just a judgmental reactionary who doesn’t understand the "bravery" it takes to be this pathetic.
I’m not just a slave to the algorithm; I’m a pioneer of self-destruction. Between the dopamine loops of mindless scrolling and the sweet, brain-melting embrace of narcotics, I have reached the pinnacle of human weakness. I am sick, I am dependent, and I am utterly empty. and i am proud.

Drugs are the only thing I have in life! Drugs are my god, my identity! Why should I strive to achieve something I could be proud of: be creative, or be physically active, when I can just be a passive slave to consumption and fry my brain with drugs instead? Yes, that is exactly why I take drugs; I spend all my money on my addiction, and I am proud to be a weak-willed slave to consumption. And anyone who criticizes this MUST be a reactionary! Yes, that’s how it is! I am a true rebel, because I fry my brain not only with TikTok and video games, but with chemical drugs as well! I am an empty shell: completely dependent, weak, and sick. And that is a good thing.

This was shot down right?
Ayys didn't do it, it was the Americans right?
Pretty vile blaming the pilot.
One guy who lost his family on the flight seems to think so too

it took me a while to find this one. TWA flight 800 allegedly shot down by accident or terrorists. it was blamed on a fuel tank. but dozens of eyewitnesses saw a fireball streaking up into the before the explosion. later on NTSB investigators also said that when the wreckage was taken out of the sea, late at night strange guys turned up and started hammering away at the pieces of metal to bend it. eyewitnesses that day were also threatened to shut up.
then to quiet all the conspiracies the CIA released this video showing what happened and had to print in large letters it was NOT A MISSILE.

The transponder was deliberately turned off by someone in the cockpit. All the actual aviation-based evidence points to a deliberate crash, especially given wreckage that has washed up shows no signs of explosive damage

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Currently majoring in an applied science, in the beginning I thought about pivoting to data science/analytics at one point or IT, like many naive STEM grads, or something but I have completely moved on from that due to being paranoid about AI. I am trying to collect all the applied lab skills and work with instruments I can now.

Do you think cishet femboys are queer (or LGBT) and very feminine/awkward cishets? most of the discomfort I have experienced as a cishomo guy was from my mannerism and I am still considered LGBT by the wokes

>>8505
I mean, queer/LGBT/etc is just a label used against the outgroup to efficiently corral and kill us. It's also incidentally a good way for us to find each other and build community too, but mainly the first thing. So, I think as far as the ruling class is concerned, everyone who's done anything other than Love Big Brother is queer - and that certainly includes cishets who are just a bit unusual. It's a spectrum of how loyal you are to normality, so while they're rarely the first targets, yeah, I'd call interesting cishet people a part of the community in that they're on the same purge list that we are, even if they are way at the bottom.

That's probably a weird take on it all, and a little grim, but it's the only way I can see it, personally.

Eu agradeço a resposta comedida e peço desculpas pela hostilidade desnecessária. Visto que você parece ter um interesse genuíno nessa discussão, tentarei ser transparente e da maior boa fé.
Quanto à estratégia de guerra prolongada, considero o modelo inadequado para as condições do Brasil, dado o difícil acesso logístico e financeiro a armas de fogo, para além dos desafios da guerrilha urbana no Século XII (por exemplo, câmeras de vigilância, dispositivos de geolocalização, artilharia mais sofisticada). Eu imagino que o contra argumento óbvio aqui é alistar o lumpenproletariado, mas estes aderem à lógica do capital (ver: história de formação do Comando Vermelho). Guerrilha urbana em si é cheio de complicações em especial fora das favelas, pois nestas, ao menos há alguma vantagem territorial.
Não digo que uma revolução deve ocorrer sem armas (a viabilidade disso provavelmente é zero), mas como eu mencionei antes, precisamos de teoria marxista brasileira justamente para deliberarmos sobre estes desafios. Não podemos barricar Paris hoje, e a Guerra Prolongada (da China) parte como princípio teórico prioritário em condições completamente diferentes tanto de organização, quanto das condições materiais então presentes. Não podemos saber se essa estratégia será aplicável, e a minha hipótese é que não seja. Não há nada que indique "universalidade" sobre a generalização de uma solução rural específica.
Sobre Mao: não é tão controverso assim dizer que sua contribuição teórica não é das melhores, visto que o acesso ao corpo teórico de Marx e Engels traduzido era escasso na China. É engraçado ver Althusser tratar o Sobre a Contradição dessa forma, dadas as suas anotações do Capital, em que ele critica a forma de se expressar hegeliana de Marx. Sobre Zizek, dispenso comentários. Anedoticamente, escuto dizer que até Bukharin é mais citado que Mao em discussões entre comunistas na China. Eu não acho que o Sobre a Contradição acrescenta à compreensão do materialismo histórico.

>>17957
>difícil acesso logístico e financeiro a armas de fogo
Foi assim, em todas as revoluções, como a história sempre mostrou, sempre teremos menos armas, menos dinheiro, fracos em todos os sentidos quando comparados ao exército reacionário. Mas Marx desde sempre nos ensinou, seremos mais numerosos, e nosso instrumento é a organização. "As armas o inimigo as tem, consequentemente o problema é arrancá-las e, isso é o principal; e as armas modernas são necessárias, porém funcionam segundo a ideologia do homem que as maneja, isso já nos ensinou Lênin".
E não, não enxergo de forma alguma o lupemproletariado como revolucionário, e diria mais, facções são extremamente reacionárias, são grupos que tem muito a perder com a tomada do poder. Foi assim, em quase todas as experiencias na América Latina, os traficantes se opuseram e se organizaram para cometer inúmeros genocídios contra os guerrilheiros.
Quanto a essa crítica do Althusser, é no mínimo estranho e simplista, quanto a forma que você a apresenta. Althusser criticou a visão de que Marx teria invertido a dialética de Hegel. Para isso, Althusser divide Marx em duas fases, ele faz crítica a sua fase hegeliana. Não tem nada demais nisso, pelo contrário, Althusser elevou o papel de Marx, mostrou como Marx rompeu com Hegel e criou algo novo, mais do que uma simples inversão de Hegel.
Sim, eu acredito que Bukharin é mais discutido que Mao em círculos revisionistas, isto não diz nada…

weird namefag, but a lot of people do report that they experience that, yeah. I think they are misattributing a lot of it but eh.

honestly quite a lot. the most important thing i noticed pretty quickly:
i basically didn't speak a lot before HRT. i'm socially anxious AND have extreme voice dysphoria. some people thought i was just unable to talk and it was just very disabling.
even without voice training, after starting E, i could open up way easier. ppl told me i was more talkative, that i smiled way more and so on. people actually wanted to be friends with me.
they thought i just stopped being weird and opened up to them. they didn't know this "development", as they called it, was called "transition"… i don't even think it was me being more comfortable in my body (ofc that can make you more confident in yourself aswell), just mental changes

how the drug war blinds us to lifesaving medicine
A relative of mine recently visited an emergency room complaining of severe depression. Did they offer her something that would cheer her up right then and there? Did they offer her a free 'trip' on the kind of medicine that had inspired the Hindu religion or that was used in ancient Greek ritual? Did they offer her laughing gas that makes people experience heaven itself? Of course not. That would not be scientific. Instead, they started her on a long-term dependence-causing treatment on Big Pharma 1 2 anti-depressants - and crossed their fingers that she would not commit suicide while waiting for the drugs to begin altering her personality and numbing her pain. The working assumption here seems to be that suicide itself is better than 'drug use,' as that term is hypocritically and unscientifically defined by racist demagogue politicians.

I despair of convincing brainwashed Americans of the many ways that potentially addictive drugs could be used safely to end depression as part of a wide variety of psychologically common-sense protocols that smart people have not even dared to imagine yet. Drug war propaganda has too thoroughly frightened them into believing that human imagination can never find ways to use drugs safely, that we are eternally gullible children with respect to psychoactive medicine. But the pharmacological work of Alexander Shulgin reveals that there exists a potentially endless list of phenethylamines that could elate and inspire without even theoretically causing addiction in the user3. This should be good news to Americans, given that their safety standard for drug use is so much higher than that for any other risky activity on the face of the globe. In this essay, therefore, I will cite qualitative testimony from Shulgin about the mood-elevating benefits of phenethylamines, thereby tacitly demonstrating the inhumanity implicit in denying such medicines to the severely depressed, as we do today, apparently on the fanatical assumption that suicide itself is better than using drugs to elevate mood.

My goal is to wake the reader up to the obvious: namely, that suicide is a big problem today only because we have made it so as a society with the superstitious Drug War ideology of substance demonization.

Here is what Shulgin writes about his experience with Pikhal drug #2:

Exposing the anti-patient drug-war lobby in Washington

The DEA is the enemy of depressed individuals worldwide because it has blocked the research (let alone the use) of godsend antidepressant medications now for over four decades. Technically, it has only done this in America, but Drug War colonialism has spread this anti-scientific policy worldwide, as America financially blackmails its trading partners into touting the anti-patient party line about so-called drugs.

MDMA 1 was legal in 1984 and ready to treat soldiers with PTSD. However, in 1985, the DEA acted against the advice of its own regulatory judge and criminalized the substance. The result: American soldiers have been without a godsend medication for PTSD during the last three and a half decades, during their fight with al-Qaida and the Taliban. While our forces were living through hell overseas, the DEA was hunkering down in its comfy Washington offices, determined to keep its jobs at any cost, even at the expense of soldiers' lives and well-being. Meanwhile, psychedelics (such as ayahuasca, psilocybin, and ibogaine) which showed profound potential for virtually curing alcoholism in the '50s, have been listed by the DEA as schedule I drugs since the DEA's inception (based purely on politics, not on science) ensuring that the depressed must continue to rely on Big Pharma meds that create chemical dependence.


But the DEA is not the only group that's determined to keep valuable medications from those who need them. To figure out who else is anti-patient in this way, just ask yourself: who stands to lose money if the Drug War is finally terminated? A partial list of such groups follows. Those who oppose America's anti-patient Drug War would do well to monitor the political advocacy of these groups who have a vested interest in the ongoing arrest of minorities for mere possession of Mother Nature's plants and fungi:

The psychonaut and the lab rat are two sides of the same pathetic coin.
In Milner’s experiment, the rat ignored food, water, and sex just to press a lever that shocked its brain with pleasure. It chose a dopamine loop over survival until it collapsed. The modern drug user does exactly the same, just with more expensive branding.
They claim to be "expanding their minds," but they are merely pawing at a chemical lever. Whether it’s a wire in the hypothalamus or a molecule on a receptor, the result is identical: the surrender of agency for a manufactured spark. They are biological machines caught in a feedback loop, trading their humanity for the same cheap twitch of satisfaction that killed the rat.
In the end, the "explorer of consciousness" is just a rodent in a self-imposed cage, starving their soul to keep the electricity running.

Psychedelics aren't addictive though

Drug users and psychonauts aren't the rebels they think they are. They are the ultimate beta-testers for the Matrix.

While they LARP as "enlightened" explorers of consciousness, they are actually just fleeing the friction of physical existence. There is no difference between a chemical high and a digital simulation; both are cowardice masked as curiosity.
The "spiritual" trip is just a biological glitch, a cheap shortcut to a feeling of significance that they haven't earned through labor, discipline, or struggle. They don't want the truth, they want a colorful curtain to hide the gray reality of their own stagnation.
If you offered them a pod in the Matrix, they wouldn't fight it. They’d be the first in line, begging for the plug, as long as the simulation stays vibrant and the dopamine keeps flowing. They don't want to wake up; they just want to dream better.

You are ultimately a reactionary retard

Drugs are harmful, and there is no reason to be proud of being a drug consoomer. It’s just like social media, video games, and gooning: nothing to be proud of. But chemical drugs are even worse. They don’t just mess up your reward system; they also accelerate physical and mental decay at a rate many times faster than digital drugs do. You numb yourself because you can’t cope with this shitty world any other way. Fine. But that’s nothing to brag about. What’s even worse is that you actually spend money on your own self-destruction while your dealer gets rich off your addiction. As I said: nothing to be proud of. This is the most pathetic and disgusting board on all of Leftypol. It glorifies chemical slavery. It glorifies weakness and decay. Simply repulsive.

Figured I made a thread to share our romantic experiences – or lack of thereof, – opinions, wishes and advice. That is part of the whole LGBT experience besides the sex and gender.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.

Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.

One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

There should be a lot to choose from the Balkans, and it's genuinely popular in its local context with high-quality production values rather than being a niche thing like Death in June.

Which tendencies of ML (there has to be at least one) uphold the pre-Dimitrov, R. Palme Dutt -esque, 1920s COMINTERN (multiple congresses) consensus on the United Front tactic, as opposed to the Popular Front (in my analysis) error?

After finally reading some of Hoxha's works I was greatly disappointed to find that he doesn't even have the integrity to acknowledge Stalin's flip flop from completely contradictory tactics, pretending like the Popular Front is the only thing there ever was and is correct without no need to explain further.

the Chinese revolution being the result of a mix of directives, and ending up in a partially synthesized United + Popular Front, at least leads to some interesting (but ultimately non-conclusive imo) discourse in some Maoist circles on the topic.

Then there's the funny thing about people thinking Bordigist leftcoms are odd for supporting the United Front from Below, or that it's an ultraleft tactic entirely. Meanwhile the fact is that it's the instance where leftcoms get as Leninist, sharing position with Stalin-era CPSU, as they can get.

TL;DR: If Dengists, Khrushchevites and Hoxhaists aren't United Front from Below stans, which MLs are? Non-answer is unacceptable and will require you to do 10 jumping jacks on a floor I multiple bags of pebbles on

yes have you heard of this thing called applying different practice to different material conditions according to dynamic theory?

I have trouble exactly understanding what the "united front from below" is supposed to be even after reading some of his texts,is it a call for "leftist unity",is it about getting support from the working class by joining unions ? is it about subverting leadership of unions and other movement that are deemed rightists ?
DO I need to read the entire transcript of the COMINTERN to get what's the difference between that and the united front from above ?
Also I don't think a lot of "ML" argue for a Popular Front nowadays,even if we don't count this site,that kind of died with the Second World War

Yeah but I learned about him in a Pennsylvanian school so he is still celebrated in other places to a lesser extent.

Why is Cinco De Mayo celebrated more in the US than in Mexico? As a yankee myself everyone I know does Gringo-Taco-Night on Cinco de mayo but I learned recently that in Mexico it is not celebrated as much, I knew it wasn’t Mexico’s Independence Day but I assumed it was you guys’s version of the 4th of July but I was wrong because that is actually September 16th. So why is it celebrated so much in Amerikkka but not Mexico? it to distract from Karl Marx’s birthday?

It's also a plainly bullshit way to advance social progress.
By all rights economic development and higher education are the keys, and those come through effective public policy and fair trade deals, yet they claim progress can come at the barrel of a gun. We saw in Afghanistan and Libya how horribly that backfired. Doesn't help that the US/Europe have continuously murdered all the liberal/secular leaders in the Middle East in favor of religious fundamentalists. Like how can you be close allies with Saudi Arabia and give them a bunch of money and weapons and then claim to care about gay rights lol.

As I am feeling depressed and lazy this morning thanks to drug prohibition, I have decided to write today's essay in the form of disparate notes on the ENORMOUSLY FRAUGHT subject of drugs and drug use in the modern world.

THE PROFIT-DRIVEN MISDIAGNOSIS OF ADDICTION

The Drug War mentality of substance demonization leads us to misdiagnose the unhappy drug user as the victim of a neurological disease called addiction. This is just the self-serving way that materialists sidestep the obvious facts of the case so as to position themselves as the well-remunerated experts on mind and mood medicine. In reality, the so-called addictive personality types are just human beings who are desperately searching for a way to feel comfortable in their own skin. They simply wish to be able to sleep at night and to appreciate the world around them. They simply wish to live a meaningful life. This desire on their part is not a medical pathology, and the real experts in such cases are not medical doctors! The real experts in such cases are the same people whom they have always been throughout the course of human history: namely, those highly empathic human beings whom we have variously denominated as priests, counselors, shaman and sages.

To be sure, such experts in our time would ideally have an extensive knowledge of biochemistry and pharmacology, but their most important qualification would be what it has always been for such experts: their ability to listen to a suffering human being and to guide them empathically on a quest for specific problem-solving protocols as suggested by real cases in the real world. Such experts would be able to suggest a wide variety of drug-aided protocols based on actual user experiences in a world wherein we actually sought to profit from the vast and so-far largely untapped treasure trove of psychoactive substances with which we have always been surrounded as biochemically activated human beings – those substances which, caveman like, we moderns have so far sought to demonize rather than to use as wisely as possible (alone or in combination) for the benefit of a suffering humanity.

This is why drug prohibition is such tyrannical folly. People in a secular society are always going to be searching for peace of mind – and a War on Drugs is all about ensuring that their search will end in disaster – thanks to a lack of education, a lack of regulated drug supply, and a lack of true and informed dPost too long.
